Abstract
The neutrons produced by deuteron bombardment of a thin, enriched target have been studied for nine different deuteron energies ranging from 1.60 to 2.70 MeV. The absolute differential cross sections for the production of neutrons feeding well-established states in were determined. In addition to the monoenergetic neutron groups feeding the states of , previously unreported continuum neutrons due to many-body breakup of deuteron plus system were observed and analyzed. The breakup mechanism is inferred to be a direct reaction process rather than the compound nucleus process. The angular distributions of neutrons leaving in 15.11 MeV (), (), MeV states were studied in detail. The effect of compound resonance at MeV on the angular distributions of the above neutron groups was studied. The investigations were performed employing time-of-flight technique utilizing pre-acceleration pulsed, post-acceleration bunched deuteron beam from a 3-MeV Van de Graaff accelerator.
